Sounds like what you are asking for is really "any pingable device
that gets power from the wall", unless you actually want to see
frequency, brownouts and such.
So I'd just find the cheapest thing I could (like a $20 dsl router),
plug it into the wall, and plug the WAN port into your network, give
it a static IP, and if you can ping it, power is good, otherwise
power is out (or as Ed mentioned, the device may be bad).
Otherwise, we've been looking at something like this:

$195, and it monitors temperature. But obviously, if you cant get to
it, power may be out. They have a whole range of products, but most
seem to report back to a single box with its own (non-ethernet)
protocol, which you did not want. So maybe this $195 unit will work,
and be more reliable than some other super el-cheapo network device.

I want to remotely monitor power. It can be SNMP, or even ICMP.
Something I can plug into an outlet or electrical panel and poll
remotely. I've found devices that monitor power but they need base
units at every remote location. I'm looking for a device that can
respond without talking to some intermediate box or computer. I want to
poll from my workstation without custom software.
Anybody know of something like that?
